For Those With Eyes to See

For those with eyes to see-With vision unobscured

There’s a reality-That evermore endures

For those with eyes to see-The state of desperate men

Lost in their fantasy-That sight their heart will rend

For vision is a two edged sword

It cuts and cleaves both ways

And sometimes we cannot afford

To close our eyes and pray

For men’s hearts have grown callous; -And they have closed their eyes. 

Their hearts are full of  malice-Their mouths are full of lies

If they would only turn-With their hearts, understand 

The lesson they would learn-And be healed by God's hand.

Yes, vision is a two edged sword

It cuts and cleaves both ways

And sometimes we cannot afford

To close our eyes and pray

A greater vision calls Out of the darkest night

It crashes through the walls- And floods the mind with light

For pleasures may depart- And ease and comfort flee

The truth convicts the heart -For those with eyes to see

For those with eyes to see, 

For those with eyes to see.

Matthew 13:15-17
